Abstract

See full text

A method for operating a vehicle combination (2) on a longitudinally inclined roadway (4) can be carried out when the vehicle combination (2) is located on the longitudinally inclined roadway (4). The method includes detecting a tensile or compressive force acting on a trailer drawbar (12) of a vehicle trailer (10) of the vehicle combination (2) using a force sensor (22) arranged on the trailer drawbar (12); generating a brake signal as a function of the detected tensile or compressive force; and controlling a mechanical friction brake (32) of the vehicle trailer (10) based on the generated brake signal for providing a braking force acting on the vehicle trailer (10). In addition, a system (200) for carrying out the method, a vehicle trailer (10) having such a system (200), and a vehicle combination (2) having such a vehicle trailer (10) are disclosed.
